Disabling RC4 Weak cipher

[cm05]

Hello Guys,


I wanted to disabe the RC4 cipher in my server. Based on this article:https://support.microsoft.com/en-au...ft-security-advisory-update-for-disabling-rc4

First thing to do is to install KB2868725 before you make changes on the registry.

• • [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Ciphers\RC4 128/128]
    "Enabled"=dword:00000000
  • [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Ciphers\RC4 40/128]
    "Enabled"=dword:00000000
• [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Ciphers\RC4 56/128]
  "Enabled"=dword:00000000

Now my problem is, I am pretty sure I downloaded the correct installer for Windows 2012, but upon installation it is giving me "Not applicable on you computer". I also tried to search in the catalog of microsft updates but 2868725 cannot be found there. Any idea f this KB has been suprceded?
